Shawls for Friend
Wrap someone special in comfort, care and love
As a crocheter, you know the feel*
Ing, You hear sorBe news about
3 friend: It could be news of s
birth, an upcoming wedding, or
even a hardship, and you get the
urge to pick up hook and yarn to
make something — a gift to com*
memorate or comfort. The Craft
Yarn Council of America has taken
notice of crocheters' incredible
generosity toward friends and
family and, in response, has devel-
oped a Friendship Shawl program
to encourage and bring people
together.
Debbie Macomber, author of
the popular Blossom Street series of
novels about knitters and crochet-
ers^ says Friendship Shawls—any
wrap or shawl that you make and
give to a friend to iet her know
she's in your thoughts— are all
about "an attitude of gratitude."
Ma com her says it's natural for
stitchers to use their craft to "let
the people in our lives know that
they are important to us."
To learn more about the
Friendship Shawl movement, visit
friendshipsbawl.org. There, you'll
find free shawl patterns as well as
interactive features where visitors to
the site share their stories and proj-
ects. Then, start erochetingl You
can give a Friendship Shawl to any-
one for any purpose. What's most
important is that your thoughts go
into each stitch, which will surely be
felt by the recipient each time she
wraps herself in your handiwork.

TLC Baby in Lime
[ FlhllSHED measurements
Ring shown Is approx in
circumference, exducting tiead; completed
rattie is approx 6716cm tall, including head
Gauge is not critical, ttiough stitches should
be tight so that stuffing and ring do not show
through. Instructions use any gauge and tell
you how to make the correct-sized crochet
piece.
1 You can make a ring cover using any stripe
pattern you desire. The pictured Teddy Bear
rattle is mrked in a repeating stripe pattern
of 6 rows 6 and 2 rows A. The Bunny rattle is
worked in a repeating stripe pattern of 4 rows
A, 2 rows C, 4 rows A, and 2 rows D.
2 To change color, work last stitch of old color
row to last yarn over, yarn over with new color,
and draw through loops on hook to complete
stitch* Carry color not in use along edge ready
for next color change.
J RINGjCqVER
The ring cover is made from a rectangular strip
of crochet that is sewn into a tube and fitted
around the ring-shaped rattle,
Delerinine the Number ot Stitches Needed
1 Make the following gauge swatch. Save this
swatch for more measurements later.
Ch 30.
Row 1 Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch
across—29 sc*
Row 2 Ch 1 , turn; sc in each sc across.
Repeat Row 2 for a total of 16 rows.
Fasten off.
2 Slip the gauge swatch through the hole
of the ring and pinch the layers together
snugly. Count the number of stitches it takes
to surround the ring to the point where the
swatch Is pinched.
Deteritiine tbe Number of Rows Needed
Slip your gauge swatch over the ring. Count
how many rows cover about oneTourth of the
ring and multiply that number by 4.
Make Your Custom-fit Cover
With first color in desired striping pattern,
chain the number of stitches determined above
plus 1 .
Rqw 1 Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch
across.
Row 2 Ch 1 , turn; sc in each sc across,
Qouble-Check Number ot Stitches
Slip the crocheted strip tfirough the hole and
around the ring to make sure It will fit snugly.
If the strip is too loose, start over with fewer
stitches- If the edges don't meet, start over
with more stitches.
Repeat Row 2, following desired striping
pattern, until you have the number of rows
determined above. Fasten off, leaving a
1 2'730.5cm tail for sewing. Hold the top of
the strip flush with the bottom of the strip and
sew together, making a tube with wrong side
facing out. Slip the tube through the hole of the
ring and fold it over the ring until edges meet.
Use safety pins to fasten edges together along
the outside of ring. Using the yarn needle, sew
the edges together. Firmly press the crocheted
piece against the ring with your fingers to
smooth*
